New from ASUS Republic of Gamers, G53 and G73 gaming notebooks now ship with the just-released NVIDIA GTX 460M graphics engine, utilizing hardware optimized for DirectX 11, with full support for high definition 3D gaming. They also feature a gaming-dedicated design, with rear vented cooling and an ergonomic keyboard surface.

So I'm guesing this will come in at around the $2500 range given the price of the of the other G73's, looks like a nice lappy, I hope it doesn't have some of the issues I've been reading about on the other ones.

The only reason I haven't bought a new laptop yet is because I've been waiting for this one. Now, I just need to wait for Newegg or Amazon to get it in stock. The only thing that sucks is that I don't hear the word Optimus anywhere :(.
